Challenge Accepted . . . maybe

Do I think I am more or less likely to complete December 2013 NaBloPoMo?

This is a tough prompt for me to anwser; I think both yes and no.

Yes, because I feel the need to do something other than work, sleep, and take care of my son. Notice that cleaning the house is not in that list. Right now, I feel like I am losing my identity as a person outside of being a working mom. With this pregnancy, I have become even more focused on just simply getting from one day to the next without any major meltdowns (for me or L). I think that getting back into writting might be an easy way to give myself something to spend an hour on each night, just for me.

No, because I feel so overwhelmed with just the idea of getting from one day to the next. Futhermore, I do not have a good track record of completing the NaBloPoMo months. I am also not doing myself any favors by trying this again during the busiest month of the year. So yeah, I will be surprised at myself if I manage to complete the month.

Last year I was able to complete the PhotoADay challenge and take a picture roughly every day. Once the year ended and I became pregnant with #2 my photo taking slipped further and further behind. I am extremely disappointed in myself for losing that habit after working for a year to make it a habit. I got some really good pictures (and some really bad ones) from doing that challenge; improving my composition style was the best thing I got out of it. I am challenging myself to complete this challenge to improve my writting and to give myself an identity outside of working mom.
